Exceptional Hardship – LGV Driver Escapes Disqualification.

This driver was represented by Barrister Millicent Dooher. The driver was in possession of 9 penalty points on his driving licence and was facing an additional 3 points and a disqualification for being a ‘totter’ with 12 penalty points. As this driver was a professional driver of LGVs it was imperative that he was not disqualified. The Magistrates’ were convinced by the exceptional hardship argument put before them on behalf of this driver and did not impose any period of disqualification.
